Beth’s concern is why I don’t think simply reducing or eliminating tours will not get us where we need to be. With a two year lease, we are not moving for another 700 members (assuming David’s growth rate continues. I would argue that we are already at facility max.
Creating a fixed cap, with a waiting list is, IMO, our best solution for dealing with maintaining a static membership until we have the facilities to grow again. This would also serve to discourage members to work on a project, then let their membership lapse. Since letting your membership lapse moves you to the bottom of the waiting list.
The other advantage of this system is it will eliminate those customers who are only joining to finish a specific project, or those who only pay for membership for their occasional projects. At the same time it effectively caps the need for key training to a much smaller and more consistent number of members wanting training. We can tell people up front, you can expect x weeks for this training, y weeks for this training, etc.
